The first idea is in the Metro Section of the post where a fiscally responsible single mom Shawn Goldstein of Chevy Chase - recently laid off from her job as construction manager - writes :

Why not have the mortgage payments of the unemployed reduced to 31 percent of their current income and tack on the unpaid monthly amount to the end of the loan? This would keep responsible people, who are in their current financial situation because of layoffs in this economy, in their homes.
